SunnyActually I think my backache may be my mattress. As soon as I got mobile it quit hurting. Still going to make all those appt. and get a full physical. Most of it will not even cost me a penny as it is preventative yet I don’t take the time. :smack: I, of course, imagine the worse like ovarian cancer or something equally bad. I don’t know any of my family history cause my mom had a hysterectomy after I was born–at the age of 40, and both my sisters have had hysterectomies so I am the only one with all my parts. I have no use of them anymore but routine removal is a thing of the past.
Howdy Y’all! I’ve been a bzzzy bear today. Da cave is spiffed, chikin got boiled, cooled down and shredded, and taxes are done and filed. Go Me! We had an early <snerk>Quickie! <snerk> for dindin. Both of us got the patty melt this time. 'Tis one of my faves. Now chill mode ensues.
I made a stop at WalMart on the way home for a few things I’d either kept forgetting or they didn’t have the last time I was there. It was a successful and not-too-painful stop. Once I got home and unpacked, I put the new wiper blades on the Sonata, then took **FCD **to retrieve the truck from the car place (he picked up his car earlier and left the truck there.) Then home to unload the dishwasher and cook up a sketty supper, which we ingested in short order.
I will assume the crochet position in an attempt to wind down after a very tiring day. Tomorrow is the big company meeting where they give us lunch and tell us what’s going on with all our projects. That’ll kill a chunk in the middle of the day. Ah, the exciting life of the working girl. 
I went to work, then I went to the vet to get Nathan’s meds refilled. He’s not in quite as much pain, so he’s off the Tramodol but still on the Methocarbamol and the Carprofen. Last week I took the staff two dozen cookies, in thanks for all the work they are doing.
Glad you’re feeling a little better, butters!
coalie, you and ruble both inherited some interesting stuff there.
Welcome back AirForce!
In the spirit of the OP, the one that I came up with a few years ago was in response to one of the production employees at irk who was to interview for a position in our department. She asked me what our manager looked like, as she didn’t know him. I told her that he was yay high and looked like a thumbprint. At that point, she knew exactly who I was talking about.
I got caught up in sideways rain going to Tar-jay after irk. I’ve never had to use the four way flashers on this car and was looking for the button on top of the steering column where they have been on past vehicles. Not there! Once I got into a parking slot, I pulled the owner’s manuel from the glove box and found out that it was between two vents above the radio. :smack: Once I came out of the sto’, the sun was shining and the rain was stopped. However, TWPTB are saying that we are due for another round in 22 minutes, this time with hail. The first round damaged a couple of hangars at the airport across the street. Welcome Spring. :rolleyes:
Supper’s et, the floor vaccuumed and a load of laundry just went into the dryer. Sloth until folding time.
Glad to know that Nathan is feeling a little better, baker. And you do what my mom used to do: take baked goods to medical providers. 
When I picked up the meds the vet asked if I was the one who had dropped them off, although given what they know of my job he was pretty sure. He wasn’t there when I delivered. He said he doesn’t eat many sweets but had a chocolate chip cookied, after coming back to the office and finding everyone else chowing down.!
Your mother and I know how to make sure we are remembered. And I like the staff, they are all good people who have been putting up with my weepiness. 
CupCakes I bet they say, “we like Nathan’s mommy, she brings us cookies!” Glad Nathan is doin’ better. Hope he’s all better soonest.
And on that note 'tis time to retire to the boudoir to watch teevee until sleepy time. I’s tahrd!
Nitey Nite Y’all!
I have lost my voice! :eek: This hasn’t happened in forever. I suppose I can kind of croak a little. Yeeesh. I feel ridiculous. My son was very sweet and hugged me.
I’m drinking tea and eating ice cream. I’m sure one of them will help. 
{{{sunny}}}
baker, have you ever tried to make home baked dog treats? They aren’t too hard. Bernard Clayton’s Bread Bible has a good recipe that I used to do for Fred the basset hound. They are also fairly high fiber, so they may help Nathan to keep things moving along.
Worked and running around and in and out of the building I have a slight sore throat. Other than that trying to line up the requested pictures.
Read, didn’t retain.
Rosie’s sig.
I think the worst I ever did, with descriptions is…
I used to work with this guy who was a total jerk. Young and a bullshitter and was the golden boy of the department. The big boss loved him, everybody else knew he was an idiot.
Anyway, we had to share a file and he needed it open for testing and I needed it closed. As usual the little idiot wasn’t around so I could ask him if he was using it before closing it on him (a courtesy he never extended to me). So I called down to one of our team leaders to see if he was with him.
The team leader answers the phone and
I asked, “Is the twerp down there with you?”
The TL says, “yeah, you want to talk to him?”
I said “no, just tell him I’m closing the file.”
I hang up the phone and everybody in the office is looking at me funny, some of them even standing up so they can look over their cubes at me.
I said, “What?”
One women says, “do you know what you just said?”
I said, “yeah, I called down to A to see if M was down there.”
She said," no that’s not what you said."
So I think for a minute and realized what I had said.
So I just shrugged my shoulders and said, “A knew who I was talking about, so what does that tell you?”
I also used to refer to all of us a Pavlov’s Puppies.
It was the only place I ever worked that we had to:
- Stand for the Star-Spangled Banner at the beginning of each work day,
- Wait for our bell to ring to go to break and lunch. What was scary is that you learned to tune out the bells that were for the other shifts. Anyway, our bell would ring and we’d all stand in unison and file out to the cafeteria. I’m surprised we all didn’t start salivating at the sound of the bell.
Irked a full day and came home to news the appraisal is in the morning at 0800. Well hell. Commenced to finish the upstairs while hubs dealt with the a/c factory downstairs. It’s not perfect upstairs but it’s amazing how much one can do under pressure. Texted boss to let him know I shall be later due to this surprise bs. I don’t like surprises.
Have coffe maker locked and loaded with time delay and will do the final things in the am at the butt crack of dawn. Honestly my house is clean by most standards but I am a perfectionist being a Virgo. Hubs crammed all his a/c units and parts into storage and just needs to sweep up down there while I do the white glove test up here. Tying to lock in a better rate. House and lot on canal is worth at least 3 X what we owe. We shall see. I will shadow this appraisal person. We are moving from BOA to local credit union. Wish us luck please.
Good luck Butters! That’s exactly what we’re doing too.
I like that! I may just have to use it at my job some day.
I worked, I went to hockey. In overtime, our goale got run into, and the carried him off on a stretcher.:eek: He’s gonna be OK, thankfully.
as far as descriptions, when I refer to the latest screw up from the new warehouse: “Boys couldn’t pour piss out of a boot, if the instructions were written on the bottom of the heel”
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 63 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 83 and mostly cloudy with a chance of a stray tstorm this afternoon. We shall see. Ima get out early (when there’s daylight enough) to finish up some yahd irk that shouldn’t take more than an hour. Then I shall shower, start laundry, and make chikin sallit for tomorrow night’s soup n sammich over to the church house. Dindin will be hoagies and chips as da bear ain’t in cook mode. Thus shall be my excitatin’ day.
sunny hope the throat feels better today.
Butters good luck with the appraisal.
doggie glad the goalie is gonna be OK.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then I suppose I should commence to begin movin’ toward yahd irk. ICK!
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
And I forgot to set my clock so ''tis a frenzy again this am. Gotta make bed, get sheveled and do a few more chores in an hour and a half. Waiting on the coffee to brew. Can not even without coffee.
''Tis funny how I don’t give a crap anymore this morning. It is what it is.
Happy Tuesday!
It’s weird how real life invades your dreams sometimes. I was dreaming that I was lost somewhere in western Virginia, and I needed a bathroom desperately. Then I woke, needing the bathroom desperately!! :eek: Guess it’s better than dreaming I found the bathroom and waking in a wet bed.
Today is the company meeting over at a local VFD hall. I chose my box lunch a few weeks ago - I think I’m getting the ham. As I recall, they do a slide show giving the status of our various projects as well as things coming down the line. Once upon a time, I understand they used to introduce n00bs, but they’ve done so much hiring, there isn’t time, so they just give a big, generic welcome. Anyway, it’ll be a nice mid-day break.
Meanwhile, I’ve got to finish some stuff for Brent, and I’ve got something for Josh and for Tim, not to mention my own drawings. Busy busy busy…
Happy Tuesday!!
